Title: For bus nuts that can't afford diesel but have a lot of friends
Post by: Kevin Warnock on November 25, 2011, 01:05:22 PM
Here's a human powered bus that doubles as a bar in some cities. This is definitely worth having a look at if you haven't seen a pedal powered bus yet.

As my wife and I visited Bend, OR a couple of weeks ago. I had to do a double take as they have the same vehicle. Only they allow drinking beer. I wonder about the designated driver??? ::)

I wonder if pedaling legally constitutes 'driving?'

I wonder what happens if the person at the steering wheel is sober but all the people providing propulsion are drunk.

Where do the people use the bathroom if they're drinking beer?

Got 11 others pedaling, just spin around and let it hang out.

Just be careful not to let it drag the ground, could hurt if it got caught under a tire!

Jest kid'n but I'm guessing regular stops are required!

  Needs some kind of power input monitor to read each peddlers input so you can encourage the slackers. Maybe a points system based on power input they can use to buy beer?
